RBR: two down, zero to go 8)

Hi folks, thanks to Malc's suggestion I soldered an additional black wire to the third port of the brake pot in my tsw2 pedal base, unplugged the red one where it goes into the pedal base, stuck in the black one instead and hey presto! both axes "work" into the same direction now. To get rid of the "flickering" effect (where the brake stays on after a mere touch of the throttle), I followed Tony's (?) suggestion from another thread and slightly pressed down the brake pedal while calibrating in windows. All other sims picked up the wiring change flawlessly, most notably GPL and F1C (it needed a re-assignment of the brake axis), but I have no doubt about lfs, N2003, and GTR. In closing, all my (current) RBR problems have been fixed, not in the least thanks to the efforts of this group and the nice guys over at the RSC RBR forum and the german simracers connection. I was *this* short of sending RBR back to amazon for a refund, but the big smile on my face after a couple of "attempts" at Harwood really goes to show it would have been a crying shame! If you have further questions or want me to provide a drawing of what I did to the TSW2 brake pot, please post in this thread or contact me by email.

Nice one ;-) Wonder how many will be less persistent & just return it to the shop though? Malc.

Well all I can say it's their *own damn fault* (tm) (the coders, not the buyers ;-) But I smell a conspiracy theory with all those Logitech logos plastered all over the sim... maybe they weren't "allowed" to test the sim with high end equipment, though the high end sector no doubt is what this product is aimed at.
